Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude and dismissive
He saw my mom in the ED a few years ago with stroke symptoms. I have never forgotten him. She ended up being diagnosed with a TIA (not by him). He was so nasty to her and my family from the beginning. He was completely dismissive of her symptoms and our concerns for her. He kept telling us that she had vertigo and "if we didn't believe him, he could just leave and we could treat her ourselves". He was argumentative and had no empathy. I would never let him treat me or anyone I know.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hipona?
Dr. Hipona is extremely rude and has absolutely no compassion. He spoke to myself and my 78 year old mother in a very degrading and authoritative tone. It was awful and I have never experienced a Dr. like this. The patient care received was horrible and we were told, he was too busy to answer our questions. Terrible.

Dr. Hipona solved a ten year medical mystery for me. His intuitive approach to my situation in the ER allowed my doctors to diagnose my medical problems. I highly recommend him.
